[PATCH v4 1/7] perf evlist: Introduce aux perf evlist

[Wang Nan]

An auxiliary evlist is created by perf_evlist__new_aux() using an existing
evlist as it parent. An auxiliary evlist can have its own 'struct perf_mmap',
but can't have other data. User should use its parent instead when accessing
other data.

Auxiliary evlists are container of 'struct perf_mmap'. It is introduced to
allow its parent evlist map different events to separated mmap. Following
commit creates an auxiliary evlist for overwritable events, because
overwritable events need a readonly and backward ring buffer, which is
different from normal events.

To achieve this goal, this patch carefully changes 'evlist' to
'evlist->parent' in all functions in the path of 'perf_evlist__mmap_ex',
except 'evlist->mmap' related operations, to make sure all evlist
modifications (like pollfd and event id hash tables) goes to original
evlist.

A 'evlist->parent' pointer is added to 'struct perf_evlist' and points to
the evlist itself for normal evlists.
